I love it when stray off your usual path. You’re doing these sites a great service promoting them and another service for your viewers should they have the opportunity to visit. Good stuff, Andrew!
Something completely different this week folks. What do you reckon? Would you like to see more reviews of Boutique and quirky accommodation in Scotland, or should we just stick to caravan, motorhome, and campervan content? Let us know. Thanks for tuning in! :)
I don’t mind what videos you make as I like them all, you always give honest, interesting and informative reviews. Plus I love seeing Dougal. What a lovely place and the food looked amazing. Dougal definitely loved it as I could see him smile, so Andrew Dougal does smile now. By the way I like the ‘hello’ you do so don’t let people stop you doing it. Andrew could you please tell us if dogs get any food or do you have to bring it with you? Thank you.
Ditto @Coco ☺️ Despite always being very comfy in my campervan you have made me want to stay at this hotel very badly! Dougal looked so relaxed both with his stick at the beginning and in your ending roundup (and you looked very relaxed too). Any video you make is a great one. x
“Kaftan clad mung bean munchers, generally with more than a hint of body odour” … I had to pause the video and laugh at that combination of words for a good five or six minutes 😂
I already see your wonderful channel as an eclectic mixture of gear review, travel, camping, with a bit of train enthusiasm, not to mention humor and great videography added in just the right amounts. Reviews like this just seem like a natural addition/progression to me, someone who looks with relish towards your next endeavor. Superb!
Thanks Doug! Sadly one or two folks call it 'self-indulgent', but as you completely understand, I'm just sharing our travels in exactly the same way as I've done on this channel for over 10 years, hopefully in a way that will make people smile. All the best.
@@andrewjditton yes, I do feel as though I truly ‘get’ your channel. It boils down to a man, his dog, and his camera. It’s a pity someone would say self-indulgent, which has a decidedly negative connotation, when in reality nearly all TH-cam channels are by their very nature indulgent in that they are a reflection of each person capturing those places and times which they find interesting. And it’s done with the hopes that their audience will also find that interest as well. So walk, ride, and generally continue traveling with our friend Dougall, always with camera in hand, to your next interest. And I, for one, will look forward to the trip!
A great episode. Thanks Andrew. They have used colours really well to bring an old structure up to date. The food looked good. And I think we can say that Dougal enjoyed the stay as well. Yes, if you can, more episodes like this would be great. PS I hope Dougal's menu was equally exciting.
Lovely, my daughter is booked to stay there in October, so I loved the review and have forwarded the link to her. Would be great to see more reviews thrown into the mix. What a lovely segment of you and Dougal to end on, priceless.
Great stuff. Please do keep these sorts of reviews going. Anyone not interested doesn't have to watch! I'm no veggie but would certainly give this place a whirl. Also... £200 for bed, breakfast AND a five course dinner isn't spendy. Seems great value to me.
Loved seeing the handsome Dougal smiling!! And really enjoyed the video - mixing this type of review with the caravan/motorhome ones, makes for super interesting content. More please!!
We thorough enjoyed watching this, especially as we are plant based. It looks like a beautiful hotel with fabulous food. Wow Dougal is smiling, he’s obviously suited to the highlife! 😁 hope he is doing okay
Yes the bathroom is definitely posh, I do love the room and great review. Thanks for the great review. I have subscribed. I she'll review this hotel sometime in the future.
Wow! What a fabulous place and the food looked scrumptious! I really enjoyed our sneaky look around this hotel with the impossible name 🤣 and would love it if you would take us along on more undercover missions! 👍
Of course he’s smiling! I enjoyed your review very much, what an interesting venture and venue-I have no recommendations, as I live on the coast of Maine, but if you can do these sorts of reviews at other interesting spots, I would love it. Most of all, though, I love your rambles on North Uist, and watching Dougal run and enjoy himself in the open spaces. It’s drop dead gorgeous and my Gatsby is almost Dougal’s twin. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks Linda, glad you enjoy the videos. Yes, Uist is rather special. Although I would love to visit Maine some time, as I've never been there and imagine it's lovely.
What fun. Every channel should have times off their beaten paths. It's more fun for you and us! I loved all the wagging tails. And that garden was gorgeous. Yeah, Gaelic doesn't easily get pronounced by me. I'd stick to the blended name.
Hi Andrew lovely to see You & Dougal. Love watching all your videos, this one is exceptional. What a beautiful place to stay, 1st Class Luxury, seeing the lovely food especially the Risotto makes me want to try more plant based meals. Dougal was in his element on his walk, how nice those Chill Out Cabins too. Thank You for this Video, it would be lovely to see more of these. Lots of Love to You & Dougal ❤️❤️🐾🐾XX
Oh my gosh! You always make me so jealous! What a lovely place! I am vegan myself and being pampered like that without having to worry about the ingredients (like you have to in non vegan restaurants/hotels) it is heaven. Great video! I could see Dougal was having fun too 😂
Thank you for making this, and please make more like it! I’m coming to Scotland in October and being vegan, I would love to stay here, but they have a two night minimum, and it doesn’t fit into my itinerary. I’m on their mailing list, and they occasionally offer special packages, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that one will show up while I’m there!
I’ve had my eye on this hotel since before they opened, especially as it’s so dog friendly, but THAT FOOD! I’m going to have to find an excuse to treat myself now. And it helps that my campervan is also called Saorsa. :)
I really enjoyed this vlog, it's years since I visited Pitlochy, the hotel looked beautiful ❤️ and the food too. Dougal enjoyed his stay and walks too 😊💞🐕 I wonder how many hello's you got as you appeared in the mirror.. I sent you one 😅 I'd like to see more videos like this as well as the trains. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to them all. Xx
Thanks Andrew. Fair price for all of that at such a lovely place. What a treat! Enjoyed this very much. Even though I'm allergic to most fruits and vegetables. I could have the risotto and porridge. Have to look on the bright side.😉👍💜
Love your relaxed and easy style which drew me in to the ambience of your stay. Certainly would be a treat for me. Food looks amazing. Lovely way to start my day :) Definitely diversify Andrew from my point of view. But caravanning and camping should be paramount. Lovely Dougal was so happy xxxxx
@@andrewjditton I've never loved living anywhere more. I feel free, alive in this wild and inviting scenery, with beautiful people with the kettle on! I am a traveller at heart and have already been to Gigha, Mull, Arran and up and down to Campbeltown at least 4 times. Incredible. I love water and for that reason alone Argyll is magic. And your inspiration partly did it for me. Thanks.
This was lovely. Definitely bookmark that one, in spite of the unpronounceable name! You could tell Dougal felt at home there the minute he walked in.... You used to do videos of the various hotels you stayed in on your weekends away before you moved up to Scotland full time. I always enjoyed them, so yes please, do some more.
Hey Andrew we're catching up on a few older videos you've posted over the last year. Loving all the content and this hotel looks fantastic. Loving the "plant based" description as poopsed to the kaftanesque "vegan". Reminds us of a visit to the Lake District when we had some delicious food at a place called "Chesters on the River". It was only when we got home we realised it was totally plant based.
Wow Andrew, that hotel looked amazing. I'm not vegan etc, but can now officially call myself "plant curious" . I hope you had a safe trip back to Uist x
That’s a great looking hotel. Loved all the outdoor spaces and greenery. The tasting menu looked great, and I like the phrase ‘vegan curious’. Andrew, you could make an hour long film about bananas and we’d still enjoy watching it, so I’ve no doubt we’d enjoy seeing you stay in hotels and other types of accommodation too. 🍌😊👍🏕
Yes we enjoyed it Andrew. As regards the direction of the channel we think you need to concentrate entirely on rooting out a Dreamer d68 Select limited 2022 model preferably in Artense grey!......LOL...( We've ordered one blind as there are none to available to view)..You are the only Brit out there capable of conveying a comprehensive review so no pressure really! It would be nice to see quirky places to stay also and perhaps some of your local area on Uist to give us travel ideas. Great vid, thank you
This was very good....we have really enjoyed your Ferry Rides, the Aircraft Take off and Landing from Bara, the Train Rides, both Historical and Now and this has been very enjoyable........the Food and Fair was Great. The ending was Priceless.
Very interesting and a gorgeous place to stay. The chill out cabins are an extra lovely touch. I hope you had time to go and view the salmon ladder. I’ve stayed there a few times, years ago with the family touring staying at Faskally site and in 2013 at another equally lovely hotel and we added a Land Rover tour up a valley onto the hills to see Highland ponies and deer. More reviews please.
Carry on regardless. It's your channel, post the content you are interested in. We the consumers are free to tune out. I also don't mind if you have ads in the middle of the video.
Love that it is a pet friendly stay. We value your overviews on Scottish life. Anything you do for us is much appreciated Andrew. Please continue with the insights of your travels.
Great video. We enjoy all of your work. Having a reputation for being honest and open adds weight to your reviews. If possible more of the same please. Especially loved the big “hello” opportunity Love to both of you xx
Vegan and dog friendly hotel? Impossible,in Germany, but obviously possible in Pitlochry. The grounds are so lovely. Would love to sit myself in one of those chill put cabins with a nice cuppa enjoying being out in the woods with such nice fresh air. The room also looks lovely and cosy. The bathroom is really posh. And they do live up to the vegan standard even with the bathroom accessories. Nice. The 5 course tasting dinner looked awesome. Would love to see more such videos - especially since I love Scotland and plan to travel there whenever I can afford it again.
Always love your chanel and reviews. Always find it interesting what places have to offer. Maybe a bit easier on the bank balance though, 3 months a pensioner now you know. Dougal seemed to have liked it he gave you a big thank you at the end. Please Andrew don't ease up on the caravan vlogs you do it so well.👍 Pete and Su.
Thanks Pete and Sue! Yes, a bit of a hit on the bank balance, but I'd like to find some cheaper 'glamping' places for the next one. But lots of caravan videos coming beforehand. All the best.
Oh dear! I see a few (look at me I'm perfect!) people who could just not watch but no they have to make scathing comments because they assume you should be bothered about them! Take no notice Andrew! I can just see them on their phones permanently fixed so much they have to be surgically removed from them every few weeks!! They never have 1 to 1 conversations with anyone as people find them so boringly tedious!! Right, finished now! Feel much better for that, I digress! We all love you whatever you do, it doesn't matter what they are about, we just love watching you and Dougal living your adventurous lives and if we don't fancy watching any of them (never happens!!) We know we can watch something else or go & talk to people, you know, how everyone used to?!!! See you Sunday, hugs!! xxx
I keep forgetting this channel is in the main about motor homes which don't appeal...sorry ...but the Scottish Islands do as I'm luckily a frequent visitor plus hotels, and this one is now on my list. The food looked amazing:)
Beautiful place indeed. Funny moment when I misread your soap bottle in the bathroom. It’s Fig and Vanilla of course and vegan. But I swear I saw Pig and Vanilla at first glance.
Andrew, what a spectacular experience. Thank you for sharing. I love that they celebrate dogs...not just tolerate them. That dog-walk was heavenly. Ha. I'm plant-curious...love it! Please do more vids like this.
It’s a great thing to have a treat and stay in a lovely hotel as you have done. As a long haul truck driver crossing the US and Canada I would live quite happily in my lovely Volvo truck for six weeks at a time. But once in awhile a treat was called for. So yes indeed I would love to see more of these reviews. I’m curious, what was on the menu for Dougal? I think my favourite night away from my truck was a cabin onboard the Queen Mary in long beach. Hmmm 🤔 is there vegan dog food?
Wow, the Queen Mary sounds great! Like me Kevin, I could happily spend 6 weeks in a caravan (and have done so for many months at a time!) but a treat makes a change. I think you can get vegan dog food, but Dougal is an omnivore - another reason I don't like to describe myself as vegan, as I do still buy meat for the dog. Cheers!
A hotel!!!? Loved it, it’s you and Dougal 😁 after all! You could do a video sleeping in your car and rate the experience and I’d still watch, ok - that might not be so great for the channel 😂 seriously though, good content as always 😀
Good stuff, don't mind a bit of a change, mostly motorhomes and caravans is good. No problem with the odd diversion. I did have visions of the dog tethered to the desk running around dragging the table behind them!
Hi Andrew I really enjoyed this video! I also enjoyed the other video you did a while ago when you stayed in that lovely guest house in Yorkshire was it? These make a lovely change to the usual vids as well as the train vids too! I don't object to paying for quality and if it exceeds your expectations then that's a result I think. The food looked amazing and your room and the grounds were so lovely and peaceful! Yes I say to more of the same!! Thought you might drop the Discovery off up North, too much hassle to take it back down South! Please do more! Plus eateries in the OH, you haven't done any vids since you moved up there! Love to you and Dougal, take care of yourself and see you in the next one. Hugs xxx
Thought it was a great review; very interested to see unique places and tips in Scotland from you. Thanks.
I love it when stray off your usual path. You’re doing these sites a great service promoting them and another service for your viewers should they have the opportunity to visit. Good stuff, Andrew!
Cheers Eric!

I think it's a good idea👍😃
I enjoyed this and wouldn’t be mad if you made more videos like this ☺️
It's been a while since you've made this type of video, I loved it 😃 But I love all your videos so.. 😄
I love this, you have discerning taste so I trust your choices. You even picked a great dog 😉
Great idea and really nice review. Looks a great place.
Love the Huge "Hello" brilliant.
The tour was amazing! I so want to be there. Sending good vibes from Albuquerque NM.
would absolutely love to see more reviews like this. very fun and price for room/meals didn't seem all that bad. keep them coming --- please!!
Thanks! Will do!
I don’t mind what videos you make as I like them all, you always give honest, interesting and informative reviews. Plus I love seeing Dougal. What a lovely place and the food looked amazing. Dougal definitely loved it as I could see him smile, so Andrew Dougal does smile now. By the way I like the ‘hello’ you do so don’t let people stop you doing it. Andrew could you please tell us if dogs get any food or do you have to bring it with you? Thank you.
Good point! I took Dougal's food, I'm not sure if they offer food for dogs as well. I don't remember it being on offer.
@@andrewjditton Thank you
Ditto @Coco ☺️ Despite always being very comfy in my campervan you have made me want to stay at this hotel very badly! Dougal looked so relaxed both with his stick at the beginning and in your ending roundup (and you looked very relaxed too). Any video you make is a great one. x
Dougal please ask Andrew to do more reviews like this especially if it has a vegan slant. We love our caravan but also love a treat now and again x
“Kaftan clad mung bean munchers, generally with more than a hint of body odour” … I had to pause the video and laugh at that combination of words for a good five or six minutes 😂
Channelling my inner Victoria Wood there... ;@)
This was fun! Great idea to include videos like this….Dougal endorsed it with a smile💖👍🏻

Absolutely, always good to get reviews and opinions on new places to stay. So yes, please consider more of the same! Nice video, thanks.
I always love your videos on campers, etc. But this was a very nice addition. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
YES PLEASE - more of this type of content for us stuck in Australia for who knows how long will be most appreciated!!!
Absolutely do more travel in Scotland! Love it! (Enjoy the caravans, too.)
Hi Dougal!!

Helloow. This was a fantastic episode! I love seeing the more out of the way places. Wonderful Andrew and Dougal!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful place to stay, the room looked fantastic. You deserve to treat yourself..safe onward travels, Karina and Jules
Yes the bathroom is definitely posh, I do love the room and great review.
Thanks for the great review.
I have subscribed.
I she'll review this hotel sometime in the future.
Thanks for subscribing, and glad you enjoyed the review. Hope you get up to Scotland soon, cheers!

Beautiful hotel loved the video, you both deserve some pampering. Include reviews into the other videos. Very enjoyable
Loved that. A big yes please to more reviews of places to stay in Scotland, especially if they’re quirky.
Will do my lovely :)

Loved seeing a different place to stay....I am plant based and will add this to my bucket list. Yes please, do more like this.
Love the look of this, think we’ll give it a try. A personal recommendation from a trusted reviewer is just what we need, thanks 😊
That’s us booked 😄
Just had lunch here, was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back, thank you for your review.
What a wonderful place to stay! Looks like a pretty perfect place to be.
Dougal is so lovely and so well behaved. Great review and I would love to stay there .thank you for sharing and that food looked amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review, keep um coming!! Fine dining, dog friendly what's not to like, the smiles say a thousand words. Result!!
Cheers Scott!
Oh my gosh! You always make me so jealous! What a lovely place! I am vegan myself and being pampered like that without having to worry about the ingredients (like you have to in non vegan restaurants/hotels) it is heaven. Great video! I could see Dougal was having fun too 😂
You never know, one day you might just get to stay there... stranger things have happened ;)
Thank you for making this, and please make more like it! I’m coming to Scotland in October and being vegan, I would love to stay here, but they have a two night minimum, and it doesn’t fit into my itinerary. I’m on their mailing list, and they occasionally offer special packages, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that one will show up while I’m there!
Yes, please make more videos like this one, but most of all keep making videos of you and Dougal enjoying life to the full.
Will do Maxine, thank you!
I took extra interest as Saorsa is a village in a Scottish settlement I grew up in, in Aotearoa/NZ 🙂
Brilliant! I love NZ.
I’ve had my eye on this hotel since before they opened, especially as it’s so dog friendly, but THAT FOOD! I’m going to have to find an excuse to treat myself now. And it helps that my campervan is also called Saorsa. :)
It's a sign! Yes, it's a real treat but worth saving up for :)
I really enjoyed this vlog, it's years since I visited Pitlochy, the hotel looked beautiful ❤️ and the food too.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this, I think it's a good departure for the channel (so to speak). Not just caravans but places to go with your caravan (or without).
Plant curious is a good addition.
Thanks Andrew. Fair price for all of that at such a lovely place. What a treat! Enjoyed this very much. Even though I'm allergic to most fruits and vegetables. I could have the risotto and porridge. Have to look on the bright side.😉👍💜
Dougal is such a sweetheart and he enjoyed his time there too! :-)
Takes me back to many family holidays in the 70s, sometimes in a hotel, sometimes in the caravan.
Love your relaxed and easy style which drew me in to the ambience of your stay. Certainly would be a treat for me. Food looks amazing. Lovely way to start my day :) Definitely diversify Andrew from my point of view. But caravanning and camping should be paramount. Lovely Dougal was so happy xxxxx

Oh and forgot to say "yes" to the reviewing quirky hotels please x
I like Quirky. Its good to get a wider perspective. More please
Cheers Gordon!
I really enjoyed this & yes please more reviews of quirky places x

I don’t think Dougal will settle for anything less now, lovely vlog thanks🌿
Yes, he has high standards now! He wasn't impressed in the tent this weekend! :)
I would seriously fancy staying there and I’m not even vegan. A lovely video Andrew and I would certainly enjoy seeing more in the same vein.
Cheers! Thank you.
Loved this and yes to more. 👍
Really enjoyed this video, please do more like it
Thank you! Will do!
Great vlog good to see different content
Thank you Andrew. I really enjoyed that. I don't mind what your videos about. I loved the steam trains, so anything you like is fine by me. ilona
Thanks Ilona, I really appreciate your support :)
What a nice change! Love the vans etc but this was very nice too. Feel free to mix them up x
Great video. We enjoy all of your work. Having a reputation for being honest and open adds weight to your reviews. If possible more of the same please. Especially loved the big “hello” opportunity Love to both of you xx
That's really kind of you to say, thank you!
Spent a night here Andrew, thanks for the recommendation , it was very good, especially the food
Glad you enjoyed it Mark!
Occasional treats are the best. More videos like this would be good. They all make up the world of travel:)

Ooh, that's a good idea, Helen! Maybe next summer as I've missed this season now.

I keep forgetting this channel is in the main about motor homes which don't appeal...sorry ...but the Scottish Islands do as I'm luckily a frequent visitor plus hotels, and this one is now on my list. The food looked amazing:)
Love this AnD Welldone
Yes please on quirky stays
Really enjoyed this video Andrew, would be very happy to watch similar videos of you reviewing places to eat and stay.
Glad you enjoyed it Jon!
Beautiful place indeed. Funny moment when I misread your soap bottle in the bathroom. It’s Fig and Vanilla of course and vegan. But I swear I saw Pig and Vanilla at first glance.
What a beautiful amazing place to stay for What you showed us it is worth paying that for a relaxing experience. Thank you for sharing this 👍🥰
Glad you enjoyed it Diane!
So, Andrew is happy, Dougal is happy and i'm happy as there was a big "hellooo"!! I've missed those!!
Andrew, what a spectacular experience. Thank you for sharing. I love that they celebrate dogs...not just tolerate them. That dog-walk was heavenly. Ha. I'm plant-curious...love it! Please do more vids like this.
Lovely video!
Looks fab. Anything that interests you is great. 👍🤣🙋♀️🇨🇦
Lovely to see Doug's smiling..made me smile too.
Plant based is the way to go , if I’m ever up that way I’ll stay . Appreciated.
It’s a great thing to have a treat and stay in a lovely hotel as you have done. As a long haul truck driver crossing the US and Canada I would live quite happily in my lovely Volvo truck for six weeks at a time. But once in awhile a treat was called for. So yes indeed I would love to see more of these reviews. I’m curious, what was on the menu for Dougal? I think my favourite night away from my truck was a cabin onboard the Queen Mary in long beach. Hmmm 🤔 is there vegan dog food?
Wow, the Queen Mary sounds great! Like me Kevin, I could happily spend 6 weeks in a caravan (and have done so for many months at a time!) but a treat makes a change. I think you can get vegan dog food, but Dougal is an omnivore - another reason I don't like to describe myself as vegan, as I do still buy meat for the dog. Cheers!
Would love to see some more quirky and unique places.
A hotel!!!? Loved it, it’s you and Dougal 😁 after all! You could do a video sleeping in your car and rate the experience and I’d still watch, ok - that might not be so great for the channel 😂 seriously though, good content as always 😀
Cheers Rebecca!
Good stuff, don't mind a bit of a change, mostly motorhomes and caravans is good. No problem with the odd diversion. I did have visions of the dog tethered to the desk running around dragging the table behind them!
Ha ha! He was only a pup, a real sweetheart called Whisky.
Hi Andrew. Heres a rather Quirky restaurant to review! Its on the main line as well, Corrour Station House. Might need the caravan though.
Enjoyed the review tremendously. Safe trip home.
Thanks Sheena!
Great review keep on do it 👍👌😊👏
Loved this! Would definitely like to see more! Am always interested in off the beaten path places to check out in Scotland.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Andrew I really enjoyed this video! I also enjoyed the other video you did a while ago when you stayed in that lovely guest house in Yorkshire was it? These make a lovely change to the usual vids as well as the train vids too! I don't object to paying for quality and if it exceeds your expectations then that's a result I think. The food looked amazing and your room and the grounds were so lovely and peaceful! Yes I say to more of the same!! Thought you might drop the Discovery off up North, too much hassle to take it back down South! Please do more! Plus eateries in the OH, you haven't done any vids since you moved up there! Love to you and Dougal, take care of yourself and see you in the next one. Hugs xxx
